Question

Shelly drives 60 miles per hour for 2½ hours how far does she travel?

Answer 1

Answer: 150 miles

Explanation:

We know that Shelly has a unit rate of 60 mph and drives for 2 and a half hours. We can multiply the rate by the time to find the total distance traveled.

Unit Rate * Time = Distance

60 mph * 2.5 hours = 150 miles

Answer 2

150 miles

Explanation:

v= 60mph

t= 2.5 hours

We know that,

D=RT, distance equals rate times time.

Since you are traveling at 60 mph, the rate,

for 2.5 hours, the time, or equally 5/2 hours.

Substitute the value of r and t

d= 60 * 5/2

d= 150 miles

Therefore, if you are driving 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours you will be covering a distance of 150 miles
